Mycobacterium marinum is a slow growing fresh and saltwater mycobacterium (SGM) belonging to the genus Mycobacterium and the phylum Actinobacteria.[1] It was formerly known as Mycobacterium balnei.[2] The strain marinum was first identified by Joseph D. Aronson in 1926 and it is observed as a pathogenic mycobacterium[3] causing tuberculosis-like infections in fish (mycobacteriosis) and skin lesions in humans.[3][4] The bacteria grows optimal at a temperature around 30 °C.[4]
